‘Acts of Surface’ ft. Edith Baumann @ 7811 Gallery

So – the concept of beauty is to be extended to include ideas of, not motion, but order? For, there is stasis included in each of Ms. Baumann’s compositions – in a perception of rigor which is not suffocating.

It is subdued – yet still to associate the vivid in her works with rigid is stifling. The absence of bombast onto an atomic inspection of the parts of order informs with the idea of structure.

For, the clarity resolved with certainty of placement of parts has a relaxing enjoyment itself. Patterning, yet obviously without the doppelgänger potential in creative act, to cause the sense of beauty, must rely on something else.

Beauty must occur through goodmind.

To focus on the changing form of the structure – unto that possible abstract uncertainty, though not chaos, in the blurriness of the distant perception of futurepart. The knowing of the origin of the forms of rectilineal objects in each composition informs the viewer with a sense of space and, due to the parts being finished action, time to the extendibility so dissolved. This novelty in extension in the perception from a base canvas to an ethereal projection; breathes mystery into the light of the calming power that is provided with certainty.
